Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. MP, 1922.

Application filed August 23, 1919. Serial No. 319,377.

To. all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JosnPH SILBERMAN and Louis KAHN, citizens of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Neckties, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of this invention is to provide a necktie, especially of the four-in-hand variety, with a so-called slip-easy or fric tionless lining whereby the necktie may be readily adjusted without undue straining with collars of the fold-over or turn-down type.

Although we have referred to the invention as applied to four-in-hand ties, it will be obvious that it may be applied to other types of ties with similar beneficial results.

The invention consists of a necktie having a lining strip applied to the inner side in any usual or approved manner, so as to present a flat smooth surface, and having one orboth of its ends secured to the tie and its interlining by a series of massed overedge stitches, such as employed in making buttonholes, buds, and the like, as We will proceed now to explain and finally claim.

In the accompanying drawings illustrating the invention, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a plan view of a necktie having its ends reversed to show the back. Fig. 2 a plan view of one end of the tie with the face material broken out to expose the interlining. Fig. 3 is a plan view illustrating the application of theend finish of the lining to the smaller end of the necktie.

its already indicated, the invention my be applied to any type of tie, but the drawings show a four-in-hand tie having wide ends 1 and 2, one end being larger and wider than the other, as usual. 3 is the lining strip of any material having such a surface as will permit the tie to be slipped easily in the col lar to effect the necessary adjustment to make the knot, or in other words, to tie the tie. This lining extends nearly to the ends of the tie, and may be applied to it in any approved way, preferably so as to conceal the stitches along its longitudinal edges and by which it is connected to or incorporated in the body of the tie. The end a of this lining is secured to the folds of the tie andalso to the interlining 5 by means of massed overedge stitches 6, this end of the lining preferably being V-shaped so as to present the least possible obstruction. The stitches 6 may be such as used in working buttonholes or buds.

The end 7 may be secured between the folds of the opposite end of the tie in any usual or approved manner, or as shown in Fig. 3 at 8, this end also may be V-shaped and stitched down as heretofore described with reference to the end 4.

When the ends are finished as heretofore explained, it is not necessary to hem or even haste the end of the lining, and hence an economy in manufacture is effected.

The massed overedge stitches which serve to fasten the ends of the lining provide a very firm anchorage for this lining, and tend to keep the lining smooth and unwrinkled so that its slip-easy function remains unimpaired during the life of the tie and not only is this utilitarian function obtained, but in addition the construction provides a very sightly finish.

Variations in the details of construction and the form of the ends of the lining are permissible within the scope of the invention and the claims following:

hat we claim is 2- 1. A. necktie, having an interlining and a slip-easy lining strip provided with a V- shaped end and massed overedge stitches connecting the end only of the lining to the material of the necktie and also to its interlining. l

2. A necktie, having an interlining and a slip-easy lining strip provided with V-shaped ends, said ends being finished and applied to the material of thetie and to its interlining by means of massed overedge stitches disposed along the edges of the V-shaped ends only and connecting the lining, the material and the interlining.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands this 22nd day of August, A. D. 1919.
